I can remember before the green vinyl seat covering they had like a tan/orange colour with cloth combination - was comfortable like a lounge. Many good memories enjoying the view on the South Coast line.
A year and a half later and it's pretty much 'fairwell V Set' in general.. 😞 I'd love to procure, strip out, refurbish and plumb & wire up an old car or two to live out of! I'm sure all the neighbors would just love living next door to a train station.. 🌳🏠🚉🏡
Nice vid! Although I have to say it, the green/brown interior looks sooo much better than the 'interesting' purple one. Shame to see it go. And those DK seats are lookin good too.
I notice that windows, the wooden panel walls and the light look the same as old Adelaide Jumbo 2000 series. So I believe that one built before 80's or so similar to Jumbo built around that time before servicing first time in 1980. I think Jumbo was built in NSW and transport to SA to use for public transport. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_class_railcar en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSW_TrainLink_V_set
•×• That 1950s interior colour scheme is mightily hard to stomach..wasn't expecting the suicide coupling twixt the units there, made me chortle it did.. .. . .
